Revolution
I dream
of a government that places health over profit;
of a government that distresses for the preservation and longevity of the human race;
of a government that operates by the people and for the people
Of the United States of America, land of the free and home of the brave.
I protest
genetically engineered foods and crops;
hormone-and-steroid injected cattle and livestock;
lack of mandatory nutrition labeling for such product
That cluster our supermarket shelves and home pantries.
I wish
to flood communities with desire of revolution and refusal;
to stray from greed and remain humane;
to build a nation founded upon health and equal prosperity for all.
For this change is unavoidable.
